Prabowo Subianto's remarks at Gontor centenary

Overview

During the centenary celebration of Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor in Ponorogo, East Java, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto delivered speeches emphasizing national self-reliance and international solidarity.

Prabowo repeatedly called to ‘Free Palestine’ and expressed emotion regarding attacks on the Palestinian people. During the event, Palestinian Ambassador Abdalfatah A. K. Alsattari presented the President with a traditional keffiyeh, which he wore during his address. He argued that Indonesia must build national strength and independence to effectively assist oppressed nations.

In addition to his stance on Palestine, the President advocated for domestic independence, urging leaders and intellectuals to remain free from foreign influence and to focus on managing Indonesia’s own natural resources and food security.

These remarks drew attention from Israeli media, specifically The Times of Israel, which contrasted the speech with Prabowo’s previous comments at the UN General Assembly regarding the need for Israel’s security. The Israeli outlet also revisited reports concerning a potential visit to Israel by the President, a claim that the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has explicitly denied, reaffirming Indonesia’s continued support for Palestine.
